State auditor stops in Brandon on township meeting day

Attending a meeting in the Brandon History Center March 10 were, left to right around the table, Brandon Township Supervisor Dennis Lund, Brandon Township Treasurer Kathy Zimmerman, Brandon City Clerk Deb Grommesh, Brandon Township Clerk Mike Cleary and Minnesota State Auditor Julie Blaha. In the back is Alan Roebke of Informed TV.

Brandon Township Clerk Mike Cleary received a call from the Minnesota State Auditor’s office March 9 ask-ing if would be available for a meeting with Minnesota State Auditor Julie Blaha on March 10, township annual meeting day in the state.

Cleary said he would and the next day Blaha and her exter-nal affairs coordinator Megan Thrasher showed up about 10 a.m. to meet at the Brandon History Center.

Also at the meeting were township officers Supervisor Dennis Lund and Treasurer Kathy Zimmerman, Brandon

City Clerk Deb Grommesh and Alan Roebke of Informed TV.

Blaha asked questions about what was going on in Brandon Township.

The annual meetings are where townships set their levy for the next year.

Blaha said townships across the state strive to keep things as even as possible without too much of an increase even though it has to be increased as inflation rises.

Cleary said roads are the ma-jor concern in the township. He said the township has $25,000 in its road fund but spends $130,000 on maintaining roads

each year.When it comes to roads in

the township the supervisors do some of the work and the township doesn’t buy new but used and recently updated its grader from a 1990 to a 2007 model.

Both Cleary and Grommesh brought up how the township and city work together to get things done and keep costs down for both entities.

Blaha said she has seen part-nerships between townships and cites across the state to help keep costs down.

When the auditor asked

Cleary what would be on the agenda for that night’s meet-ing he said besides the levy it would be gopher bounties. He explained there is an effort to get all townships in the county to adopt the same bounty for gophers, which can burrow and hurt buried cables.

One concern brought up by Cleary was the increase of heavy vehicles on township gravel roads which cause ac-celerated and more frequent maintenance, gravel and grad-ing.

Brandon Township does try to pave roads as much as possible but when it does the money for the paving takes money from other areas.

Cleary is hoping the Min-nesota Legislature can become more aware of road issues in townships. He mentioned there are more people moving into townships and they don’t always realize not every road is paved as it was where they used to live.

Blaha said she was on here way south on Interstate 94 to an appointment and thought it would be nice to talk to people on the township level on annual meeting day. Her coordinator spotted Brandon Township on the map and made the call and the meeting was set.

The auditor said the meeting and the discussion were very helpful and she was interested in what everyone was saying. “I couldn’t think of a better way to begin this trip than by stopping here in Brandon,” Blaha said.

The hospitality at the meeting also included different kinds of donuts, which were enjoyed by all.

Evansville City Council hears audit report for 2019The Evansville City Council

at its meeting March 9 heard an audit report for the city’s 2019 finances.

The audit report was pre-sented by Dean Birkeland of Carlson SV.

The report showed no prob-lems with the city’s financial reporting.

Two mistakes were found and corrected pages will be sent to the city so they can be put into the audit booklets.

Monica Olson, representing Gardonville, was at the meeting to inform the council the co-op would like to present the coun-

cil with a proposal for internet service in the city.

Olson said a meeting with the council with others presenting the specifics of the proposal would be helpful.

The council approved hold-ing a special meeting, open to the public, for 2 p.m. April 14 to hear the proposal from Gardonville.

A bid for painting the council chambers was received from MH Painting in the amount of $1,350. The council approved spending up to $1,000 for the painting at its February meet-ing. At the March meeting the

council approved spending up to $1,500 for the painting project.

Legal notice

March brings the promise of things to come. Our days are getting longer, the sun is warm-er, and except for a few more winter setbacks, we are well on our way to Spring! What can you do to get a jumpstart on the gardening season? How about starting your own seeds and propagating your own plants?

Growing Greenwith Extension Educator Robin Trott

Starting garden plants from seeds indoors can be an enjoy-able project for any gardener, and is a relatively inexpensive way to grow a wide variety of plants. Seed catalogs have considerably more varieties, colors and cultivars than your local garden center, so if you just have to have a particular

variety of tomato, or color of flower, starting your own might be the way to go.

If you have ever dug and divided your perennials, you have already practiced vegeta-tive propagation. This type of propagation involves taking parts of a plant (stems, roots, and/or leaves) and causing them to develop into a new plant or, in some cases, several plants. With few exceptions, the result-ing plant is genetically identical to the parent plant. The major types of vegetative propagation are cuttings, layering, division, separation, grafting, and bud-ding. Advantages of vegetative propagation include:

• It may be easier and faster than seed starting for some species.

• It may be the only way to perpetuate particular cultivars.

• It maintains the juvenile or adult characteristics of certain cultivars.

• It allows propagation of special types of growth, such as weeping or pendulous forms.

• It may more quickly result in a large plant (compared to one propagated by seed)

For more information about plant propagation, join the University of Minnesota Ex-

tension Master Gardeners at their spring horticulture educa-tion day, Let’s Get Growing, April 4, 2020, from 8:00-3:30 at Discovery Middle School, Alexandria, MN.

Dave Vaske, owner of Mil-tona Greenhouses and Nursery will present a two-part session on The Basics of Plant Propaga-tion. The most common way to propagate a plant is to start with seed, and for many plants, this is the best way. However, in many situations starting from seed is a poor choice. The whys and how’s of multiple types of plant propagation will be covered, and techniques for home gardeners to success-fully propagate almost any plant will be introduced. This will be followed by Basics of Plant Propagation Demo, which will demonstrate techniques discussed at the earlier session.

Bill Cook, Professor of Bio-logical Sciences at St. Cloud State University and Stearns County Extension Master Gardeners will present Seed Starting for Beginners. Garden-ers can get a jump on spring vegetables and flowers and save some money by starting seeds indoors. We will cover basics of soils, watering, using artificial

lights, heat and getting those seedlings successfully outside with recommendations on when to start commonly grown vegetables.

question: “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

meeting Council member Deb Berry was proud to announce the cafe will be reopening hope-fully by the end of May. She said it is her understanding the restaurant will offer breakfast and lunch as well as bakery items.

Promoting the city was dis-cussed at the meeting and the consensus was there is a need do more raise the profile of the city.

To that end the council appointed council members Berry and Colleen Shores as a committee to look at ways to promote Evansville. The two will also look at ordering new banners to be hung throughout the town on utility poles and creating a presence on social media such as Facebook for the city. City Clerk Diana Olson will also be helping out with ideas on how to best promote the city.

The council also at the meet-ing accepted the resignation of maintenance worker Brett Anderson.

place where the land stretches so far across the earth that eagles dance above serene evergreen covered hills and hawks search for prey over a quilted prairie. This land of gentle hills, prairie, rivers lakes and streams is of course, Minnesota. A land where there is nothing so cold as the first 40-degree day in October and nothing so warm as the first 40-degree day in February. A land which shines with the brightness of snow in the winter and the freshness of green in the summer. The joy of being from here, of living here and experiencing this land is something which is not easily explained to others. Which is perhaps just as well. To adequately convey to outsiders the beauty of a drive along the North Shore, the view from the rim of the Red River Valley, or the experience of fishing open ice may only draw those who cannot fully appreciate this Minnesota. The crisp, clean air filling the lungs on a blue-sky morning near a glass-calm lake with the whispiest of mists drifting into the air, complemented by sudden, but welcome, warbelings of a distant loon, is but one of the many joys allowed those who call Minnesota home. And the call to the Star of the North has beckoned many a traveler to its borders. The state is a melting pot of humanity. People from every race, creed and color call Minnesota home. It has no one nationality, no single culture, no exclusive religious belief. The cold for which it is famous is but a brief inconvenience for some and a snow-covered world of play for others. The promise of spring is only here made with such conviction. And only here is it enjoyed with such vigor. The summer, which seems so brief, finds thousands and thousands trying to fit in as much fun as possible into a few months. And then there are those glorious falls. Which sometimes masquerade as summer for few brief weeks before pulling off their mask to end the ruse and bring the cool breezes which tease and tickle the fire-orange leaves before they depart from their sylvan summer residences. The time may seem ever so brief when citizens here walk around in short-sleeved shirts or without jackets. But to the dedicated there is no "only" time to reside in Minnesota or to be a Minnesotan. It is much more than being in a certain place. It is putting up with the snowfalls and the storms and shoveling out the driveway knowing that within a few hours the job mayhave to be done again. It is taking advantage of a wonderful placewhich Mother Nature has endowed with hills, valleys, plains, lakes, forests and prairie. It makes no difference if one prefers the heavy forests of the Northeast, with their wonderfully clean smell; the bluffs of the Southeast, rising majestically from a great river; the rolling hills of the Southwest with their summer blankets of corn and wheat; the plains of the Northwest, with their endlessly serene beauty; or the thousands of lakes which dot the landscape and add to the state's character. It is all Minnesota a place where prairie and the forest collide, the continental divide runs east to west, and the Mighty Mississippi, the Father of Waters, begins. Where cities hustle and bustle with everything needed for those who take comfort in knowing they are in "the big city." And yet, Minnesota is still a place where it is possible to know the unique experience of living in a town small enough where you know everybody and find all the joy needed for living in that simple fact. It may be difficult to answer why we stay. But stay we do. Because we know what Minnesota is. We live it. We breath it. We know what it is all about. From every corner there is something worth staying for. And its wonder and beauty are enough to keep us here through all the changes of a great Minnesota Year!

Census, Census, Census…is it really that important?

YES! Data from the census will

determine how much of the federal taxes that Minnesotans paid will return to Minnesota to fund schools, infrastructure repairs, transportation plan-ning, Medicare, energy assis-tance, civil rights and advocacy programs, and more. It’s also critical for representation, as Minnesota could possibly lose one of our eight congressional districts. This would mean that our representatives would have larger geography in their dis-trict boundaries. It also would mean that our representation at the state level could be from a suburban location and have a much more divided loyalty in terms of rural/metro issues.

Here is what you (yes, you!) can do to help make a big im-pact on increasing Minnesota’s response rate.

Fill out your Census form as soon as you are notified. Residents will begin receiving their notice after March 12, which will invite them to fill out their Census form online. Yes, that’s right, this is the first year we will be able to submit our information online—and it’s secure! If you’re not comfort-able with online submission or lack access to the internet, the notice also will list a number to call to provide your answers to a Census worker over the phone. Still unsure? You can call to re-quest a paper form be sent out to you. If you have questions, stop into your local library, where staff will be happy to assist you. Lastly, if the Census hasn’t heard from you, they will send a Census staff member to your door to collect your information in person.

Tell your friends, neighbors, relatives, and strangers how

important the Census is to our community. Stuck in line? Talk about the Census—every person counted brings about $28,000 into Minnesota. Tempted to talk about the weather? Ask whether they’ve completed the Census yet. Waiter asks if you need anything? Tell him you need him to fill out his Census form. Someone asks you about sports? Tell them that Minne-sota is “number two” in Census response rates, and we’re losing to Wisconsin.

Hashtag on social media. I know, hashtags are scary (and soon to go out of fashion), but #EveryoneCounts in #Cen-sus2020. #WeCountMN!

If you have five or more hours a week and would like to earn some extra money, apply for a Census job. Current openings pay $19 per hour and include paid training and mileage re-imbursement. Learn more at 2020census.gov/jobs.

The Census is a critical part of the US government. Please help Minnesota be the most responsive state in the nation (and finally beat Wisconsin)!

The Record, Thursday, March 12, 2020, Page 6B-E boys fall to Ashby in South Sub-Section play

The Brandon-Evansville boys basketball team took on Ashby in the opening round of the South Sub-Section tourna-ment March 5.

The Chargers had the best of the contest in the first half building a 28-15 halftime lead.

In the second half the Arrows chipped away at the deficit until taking their first lead late in the second half.

The two teams kept the game close in the closing minutes but the Arrows had the better of the struggle for a 49-45 win.

“This game was a tale of two halves. We did a nice job in the first half winning the rebound-ing battle and getting the 50/50 balls. The opposite happened in the second half and hats off to Ashby for making that happen.

“I’ve said it all year, this sub-section is an absolute grinder. Nothing is easy, and anything can happen. I look forward to following the remainder of the section 6A tournament,” said B-E Coach Trent Hinter-meister.

This was the last game for this year’s B-E seniors and the coach appreciated their contri-

butions to the program.“I want to start out by say-

ing thank you to our wonder-ful seniors who have done so much for our program. Charger basketball is moving in the right direction because of Andrew Johnson, Andrew Perrin, Jesse Perleberg, Keagan Schiele, Marshall Riedel, Sam Fuller, Seth Stelzer, Tanner Bitzan, and Tony Schaffran. These guys were great teammates, are fantastic role models, and will only continue to grow as leaders,” said the coach.

Looking toward the future the coach feels the players who will be returning will keep the program in the right direction.

“Moving forward, it will be fun to watch Kobe Rieland, Brian Lauthen, Titus Fuller, and Tyler Bitzan step into bigger roles for us this summer and next season. We will be young and inexperienced next year, but I’m confident in our next group of players thanks to the path our seniors have laid for them,” Hintermeister said.

The Charger-Ashby game

was the closest of the first-round games. All others were decided by 15 points or more.

The Chargers ended the sea-son at 18-9.

In other first round games it was WCA over KMS 89-53; Parkers Prairie over W-H-N 74-51; and Hancock over Battle Lake 61-44.

In the second-round March 7 it was WCA over Ashby 73-55 and Hancock over Parkers Prairie 61-58.

In the North Sub-Section first round it was: Henning over Rothsay 82-32; NYM over Lake Park-Audubon 55-54; NCE/UH over Park Christian 70-51; and Mahnomen over Hillcrest 64-47.

The North semifinals had Henning over NYM 85-48; and Mahnomen over NCE/UH 60-56.

In the South championship game it was WCA over Han-cock 68-47 while Henning won the North with a 78-35 win over Mahnomen.

In the section title game it will be Henning against WCA March 12 at Concordia at 7 p.m.

Marshall Riedel of the Chargers drove past this Ashby player when the two teams played in the South Sub-Section game March 5.

The girls had the highest free-throw per-centage in the regular season against Battle Lake also at 60%.

Many 7th grade girls played in the 8th grade games because we only had six girls on the 8th grade team. These 7th graders played well.

More than 100 nursing homes across Minnesota have begun kicking off 36 projects to pro-mote better care and quality of life for their residents. The projects, funded by the Min-nesota Department of Human Services, range from efforts to improve mental health and social connections to reducing falls and infections.

At $6.7 million per year, the Performance-based In-centive Payment Program (PIPP) provides up to 5% in additional operating payments to nursing homes throughout the state. PIPP lets nursing homes dedicate resources to quality improvement and re-quires them to meet specific goals related to care, resident quality of life, workforce and other issues. Since 2006, the program has funded more than 300 projects. Eighty percent of Minnesota nursing homes have participated.

“Collectively, these perfor-mance improvement projects make a big difference and im-prove the lives of thousands of nursing home residents,” said Minnesota Human Services Commissioner Jodi Harpstead. “We’ve seen ground breaking improvements in areas like resident sleep quality and falls prevention. Nursing facility staff are invested in making improvements and excited about sharing successes with their peers.”

Below are some of the or-ganizations receiving PIPP funding in this round, grouped by region. All grant amounts shown are for fiscal year 2020.

Central/West Central • Evansville Care Center,

Evansville, $10,143 to improve fall assessment, prevention, follow-up and interventions.

• Care Ventures Collab-orative, multiple locations, $122,568 to develop a resident centered behavioral manage-ment program using evidenced-based practices to improve quality of life.

Stay Calm, Be Prepared, Wash Your Hands,

Stay Informed It is not too often that “What’s

on the Horizon” talks about the same subject two months in a row. Coronavirus (CO-VID-19), however, warrants a closer look and an update. Pub-lic messages about every aspect of this viral illness are coming at us from every direction. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) and Horizon Public Health (HPH) are all working together to bring you the best information that is cur-rently available in this quickly evolving situation.

Although much is still un-known about the virus, here are some things we do know:

• COVID-19 causes a viral respiratory illness, much like the common cold or influenza.

• The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, cough and shortness of breath.

• COVID-19 is able to spread from person-to-person.

• The majority of people infected experience mild ill-ness, some people will become seriously ill.

Protecting yourself from COVID-19 involves the same recommendations for avoiding many respiratory illnesses such as influenza and the common cold.

• Wash your hands often and thoroughly (20 seconds)

with soap and water. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.

• Stay home when you are sick, this is critical to avoid passing the virus to others around you.

• Cover your cough/sneeze into your elbow. If you use a tissue, throw it in the garbage and wash your hands. Don’t cover your cough with your hands!

• Don’t touch your face, especially your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Regularly disinfect fre-quently touched surfaces like door knobs, light switches, remotes, etc.

You have heard the message from public health through the years, over and over, to prepare your family for an emergency situation. The federal web-site www.ready.gov has great checklists to help you consider steps you can take. We recom-mend that you take a look at your supplies to be prepared for being home for a couple of weeks if necessary. Food, wa-ter and medications are a great place to start, but remember if you go out and purchase more than what you need it creates empty store shelves for oth-ers. This is a time to be ready, but also remain calm in our approach.

Masks have flown off store shelves. Remember that masks are needed for healthcare work-

ers and sick patients. They are not intended to protect healthy people in the community. The available supply needs to be for healthcare workers, so they are able to care for those who are critically ill. If you have respiratory symptoms and plan to seek medical care, please call ahead or check the organiza-tions website for instructions.

To stay up to date on current information visit the Centers for Disease Control website at www.cdc.gov. They are publishing the latest informa-tion and frequently making changes. There is information for business owners, schools, travelers and others who may be looking for specific guid-ance to help with planning and decision making. For informa-tion specific to Minnesota or what is happening here in our five Horizon counties visit the Minnesota Department of

Health website at www.health.state.mn.us or Horizon Public Health at www.horizonpubli-chealth.org. If you have ques-

tions please call our main line at 320-763-6018. Remember, stay calm, be prepared and wash your hands often!

creased 3.5 percentage points. However, for our American Indian students, the four-year graduation rate has remained between 50 and 51 percent.

Fewer students are choos-ing to drop out of high school. From 2018 to 2019, the overall statewide high school dropout rate decreased from 4.6 percent to 4.4 percent, and also dropped for every student group. Over the last 10 years, the number of high school graduates enrolled in developmental education courses at Minnesota colleges and universities during their first two years has dropped by 10 percent, suggesting that as more Minnesota students graduate high school, they are leaving prepared for college level coursework.

“I am heartened to see a mea-surable decrease in the number of students who dropped out of high school,” said Commis-sioner Ricker. “That suggests that students are hearing the message that the adults in their lives are here to support them, and if they choose to persist

in their education that we will persist right alongside them. I know that, with the help of my fellow commissioners as well as educators and families all across the state, Minnesota can be the first state in the nation to effectively end high school dropouts.”
